Automatic washer unstackers for grinding machines

Customer objectives :

Automate the unstacking of washers of variable dimensions on a grinding machine to reduce the operator load

Principle:
  • Manual loading of the washers into the unstackers,
  • Vertical carriage for lifting/lowering washers via an electric actuator,
  • Detection of the washer to be unstacked via laser beam,
  • Unstacking by means of a pneumatic movement with variable stroke on a customer conveyor belt,
  • Conveyor saturation management,
  • Flexible assembly to adapt to a wide range of washer sizes and surface finishes (raw or ground, dry or oiled washers),
  • Ensure a minimum autonomy of 15min.
